I like many whiskies especially the more lightly peated of the Islay malts. Kilchoman's Machir Bay above all else.
Used to drink the heavilyy peated stuff but I think that was an attempt at appearing macho. Since then I've learned to enjoy even such subtle, 'mild' whiskies as Isle of Arran.
I've had JW Blue label ... meh. Horribly over-priced & -packaged just so you can show it off to your pals. I think of Johnny Walker being to whisky as Hoover is to vacuum cleaners. 🤣 Hahaha.
@LamontCranstonMachir Bay is hard to find here. Kilchoman makes more whiskies but the other one I've tried (name forgotten) didn't appeal to me. Arran is hard to find too and I don't have either of them right now. Someone mentioned the Amarone-cask Arran. That's what I've had before and enjoyed very much.
@CobaltToad i resist that day.. so far have stayed in control I run two bars,, so that helps... not drinking while you serve the drunk is really revealing
Great question. I prefer Green. It’s a very unusual type of whisky—a blend of four identified single malts with no neutral spirits added (as is the case in “blended” whiskies, even high-end ones). I’m a big fan of Green Label, and it’s a pretty good price point for the quality.
See comments elsewhere. i prefer single malts but if i had to drink a blend, Dewar's make a nice 18 yeor old blend of mostly single malts "The Vintage". Some real character to it.
